hey, im a little new to the wheel application world, i was wanting the f14 wheels in piano black, but i was wanting a 20x10 in the rear and 20x8.5 in the front....but like i said im a little new so i dont know about the offset, got any advice on that? Im willing to get the 19's if i have to
where did you get the f14's from? tirerack.com?

I am no expert other then repeating information that I already gathered myself about my specific application. Also, I did not purchase the rims from the vendor on this website. I purchased the rims from
http://www.autoglitz.com/
I did so because 1) I am friends with the owner and staff and 2) they beat all quotes for the rims by $100. They also mentioned that they will offer the same price for the rims to all others. If you are interested please PM me and I will get you the contact information.

Then I got black lugs and I should be painting the calipers and rotors black as well for a contrast.
Thanks for all the kind words!

I forgot to reply to this...I have an issue you see (among the many others 
)
1) This would most likely lower the front end even more...and I would LOVE the look however...I've already scrapped the crap out of the frame from bottoming out in shitty *** miami driveways and roads! I hate Miami! I never had this issue till I got here.
2) I don't have the work space to do this.
So should I leave it as is and is there any negative side effects other then looks?
I am even contemplating getting an expensive suspension I can adjust the ride height on the fly but I am not sure. I eventually want to start racing the car on the weekends but I am not sure what coilover set would suit all these needs and be better then my currect Tein and Koni setup.

Pretty sure they don't as they are 265/35 and a little short. 275/35 would get pretty close but still shouldn't cause much, if any, of a problem. My tires should sit in a very similar position and I'm close enough to rub dirt off the plastic piece with my tire but it doesn't really catch (18x9.5 +28 with 245/40) lol.

Some more pics...
Someone asked me for this pic...Honestly it does not show how fat the tires really are in compareson to the stock tires. Also keep in mind my previous tires were a 245/40/18 hence the difference may not be that dramatic.
Fendor roll
There are a few more in my photobucket...Checkum out if ya like.

30s ago, before I read this thread, I was in the "I'll never buy rims" club. They're expensive, they're...oh damn I need those RIMS.
I just don't know what to say...they look like they were MADE for the Ti-G RX-8. WHICH I ALSO OWN. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get a loan for rims...right? :-)

I would kill for a 3 rotor but I just can't afford 30k for that swap. Maybe if I save for the next 5 years...I just can't.
I either do a questionable swap for half that price or I get a rebult reni with a supercharger for about 5k less then the "questionable" swap.
